I don't think you can convince the snake to stay
in the isolated part of the lake...

======================
This is true. It's up the swimmer and waders to be careful. Snakes will
usually stay away from where people are making noise and splashing around.
I'm living here since 1979 and never heard of a swimmer or bather getting a
poisonous snake bite at this lake. I also relocate the bullfrogs and
snapper turtles that come here looking for a free fish dinner.
